I don't disagree with Charles, but I must say that the rough finish is primarily restricted to the spoke/hub interface areas.The rim itself is very well finished...from my experiences, I'd say the rim quality is a step UP from the Mavic CCU / LW Gen-III's that will be their primary competitors.The valve hole molding, for example, seems very beautifully designed and cleanly executed.I have written Madfiber to see their thoughts on the rough finishing of the spokes, particularly on the rear wheel...so far their customer service has been great, so we'll see what they say.
